Abstract: A method is used for tracking storage utilization in a storage system. An amount of physical storage space available for use on an appliance is determined. The amount of storage space consumed by each type of data being stored on the appliance is normalized. These normalized amounts are used to determine an amount of storage space on the appliance consumed by the data. When a percentage of storage space consumed on the appliance exceeds a threshold, an alert is generated.

Abstract: The present document describes an apparatus for reducing fabric dimpling in electronic devices and associated methods. The apparatus is used during assembly to prevent fabric, which is stretched over a perforated part (e.g., speaker housing), from dimpling into the holes (e.g., perforations) of the perforated part. The apparatus includes protrusions (e.g., pins), which act as a negative of the holes in the perforated part, to support the fabric as it is stretched over the perforated part. In particular, the protrusions are inserted through the perforations via an interior surface of the perforated part such that the protrusions are “proud” (slightly projecting from a surface) with respect to an exterior surface of the perforated part. The proudness of the protrusions may vary based on a degree of curvature of the perforated part at a location corresponding to a respective protrusion.

Abstract: The invention is an article of headwear that incorporates a hair compression system and adjustment system for compressing one or more sections of a wearer's hair. The headwear may be formed of a compression system and an adjustment system. The compression system includes one or more stretchable materials. The compression system may compress along a circumference, side and/or vertical plane of the head of a wearer. The compression system is attached to an adjustment system. The adjustment system allows a user to selectively tighten the compression system to a desired compression to keep the hair of the wearer compressed while wearing the headwear. The desired hair compression is capable of being regulated by the adjustment system. When the user is finished wearing the headwear, the adjustment system may be released to allow the user to remove the headwear without undoing the effects of the compression system.

Abstract: A data memory system is described, where there may be an asymmetry in the time needed to write or erase data and the time needed to read data. The data may be stored using a RAID data storage arrangement and the reading, writing and erasing operations on the modules arranged such that the erasing and writing operations may be performed without significant latency for performing a read operation. Where a failure of a memory module in the memory system occurs, methods for recovering the data of the failed module are disclosed which may selected in accordance with policies that may relate to the minimizing the possibility of irretrievable data loss, or degradation of latency performance.

Abstract: A privacy management system that is adapted for, in the course of processing a particular data subject access request, automatically determining a type of the data subject access request, such as: (1) a request to delete personal data of the requestor that is being stored by a particular organization; (2) a request to provide, to the requestor, personal data of the requestor that is being stored by the particular organization; (3) a request to update personal data of the requestor that is being stored by the particular organization; and (4) a request to opt out of having the particular organization use the requestor's personal information in one or more particular ways.
